This corrects an annoying bug that had the system crash and burn on first start-up due to a race condition in service initialization, where the services were attempting to access the database before it was properly migrated.
A fix was in principle already in place, but it was running too late and did not prevent attempts to access the as-yet uninitialized database. Move the first boot check into the MainClass instead of the Service constructor.
The change also adds more appropriate docker dependencies to the services to fix rare errors resolving the hostname of the database.
Before the gRPC migration, the system would serve both public and internal requests over HTTP, but distinguish the two using path prefixes and a few HTTP Headers (X-Public, X-Context) added by the reverse proxy to prevent misconfigurations.
Since internal requests meaningfully no longer use HTTP, this convention is just an obstacle now, adding the need to always run the system behind a reverse proxy that rewrites the paths.
The change removes the path prefix, and updates the docker templates to reflect the change. This will require a migration for existing systems.
I was following the release demo video for v2024.01.0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNwMkenQQ24 and when I did 'docker
compose up' the containers couldn't resolve the DNS name for 'zookeeper'
I realized this was because the zookeeper container was using the
default docker network, so I specified the wmsa network explicitly.
To avoid having to either hard-code or manually configure service addresses (possibly several dozen), and to reduce the project's dependency on docker to deal with routing and discovery, the option to use [Zookeeper](https://zookeeper.apache.org/) to manage services and discovery has been added.
A service registry interface was added, with a Zookeeper implementation and a basic implementation that only works on docker and hard-codes everything.
The last remaining REST service, the assistant-service, has been migrated to gRPC.
This also proved a good time to clear out primordial technical debt from the root of the codebase. The 'service-client' library has been taken behind the barn and given a last farewell. It's replaced by a small library for managing gRPC channels.
Since it's no longer used by anything, RxJava has been removed as a dependency from the project.
Although the current state seems reasonably stable, this is a work-in-progress commit.
This adds a single-node barebones configuration to the install script. It also moves the log4j configuration into system.properties, and sets assertions to disabled by default.
This commit overhauls a lot of the UX for the control service, adding a new actions menu to the nodes views. It has many small tweaks to make the work flow better.
It also adds a new /uploads directory in each index node, from which sideloaded data can be selected. This is a bit of a breaking change, as this directory needs to exist in each index node.
The changeset also makes the control service responsible for flyway migrations. This helps reduce the number of places the database configuration needs to be spread out. These automatic migrations can be disabled with -DdisableFlyway=true.
The commit also adds curl to the docker container, to enable docker health checks and interdependencies.
